The terms of Karl Rove's contract with Newsweek: It's a 2-year-deal, 8 columns per year and 16 overall.

A Newsweek spokeswoman confirmed this to Media Mob; editor Jon Meacham had let it slip out on Feb. 7, when a Columbia J-school student asked him about Mr. Rove (and right before Mr. Meacham asked an entire lecture-room full of Columbia students why they didn't like Newsweek).

You might be able to move it up a notch in the bathroom, but not for reading. This isn't all that interesting without the most important term of his contract: how much are they going to (over)pay him for 700 words every six weeks?
